A turbine at 'the world's largest floating wind farm' produced its first power over the weekend. The more emissions-friendly source will be used in the production of more traditional, higher-emission energy sources: oil and gas.
The U.S. will need far more lithium to achieve its clean energy goals, and the industry that mines, extracts and processes the chemical element is poised to grow. The renewable energy from Equinor will help power operations at oil and gas fields in the North Sea.
The first power from Hywind Tampen’s wind turbine was sent to the Gullfaks oil and gas field and is expected to help power around 35% of the Gullfaks and Snorre fields’ electricity demands in the North Sea. In 2023, Equinor says it will have 11 turbines up and running with a system capacity of 88 megawatts to help power the production of fossil fuels.
